      So once you garner massive support do nothing meaningful to change things, that’s the right way to protest the government according to the government.

      This is what I mean by domesticated

        If you want a group of people to storm the halls of office and seize power by force you’re talking about a coup.

        In this case, the demonstration of dissatisfaction by so many people is meaningful.

        That “feeling” needs to build to a cacophony that republicans just can not ignore. The whole country (aside from perhaps a few loyalists) needs to be in agreement that the republicans are not fit to govern.

          I thought a coup was when you placed loyalists in all positions of power, you control the news, and declare yourself president for life.

          Huh well guess that wasn’t a coup and there’s no problem.
